WASHINGTON — Some U.S. allies are using sophisticated spying methods to steal American military and industrial technology, according to a congressional report released this week. ''The FBI national security division has determined that foreign intelligence activities directed at U.S. critical technologies pose a significant threat to national security,'' said the report from the General Accounting Office. The report did not identify the countries. The House National Security Committee, which requested the report, and the Israeli Embassy in Washington would not confirm reports in Israeli newspapers that Israel was one of the countries.
